Default How much camber without camber kit?

I was wondering how much camber I can get out without getting the camber kit? My Z is lowered on swift springs, I don't have time to buy the camber kit before the event, but need to get it re-aligned.
Just wanted to know how much I can get for now?
Also what would you recommend as far as somewhat of a road race alignment but on stock Z....
Sorry if this is a noob question, I'm coming from an evo, and it stock form you could get -2.5 front and -1.8 rear 0 toe all around without any modifications

it really depends on the car and the alignment shop. I'm lowered on tanabe gf210's and the shop I went to couldn't not get it back within spec. Others with the same setup, have had no issue getting back into spec though (without camber kits).

You should have plenty of camber, about -2.2 rear but your problem will probably be toe. You may not be able to get into toe specs.

Alright, thanks for the response. Anyways I will try to get somewhat of a decent alignment before Time Attack and once I come back I will look into the camber kit

it depends on how low the springs dropped it. 1" drop in front will only give you almost -2 degrees camber, you will have to go lower for more or get arms. i lowered mine about 1.5" in front which put me at negative -2.2 degrees in the front i used arms to get -2 in the rear, so i will probably get front arms to go more negative
